The Heart of Our Organization

The Oceania Regional Anti-Doping Organization was established in October 2004. Our founding members were Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Samoa and Tonga. This initial membership has since grown to now, 17-member countries; American Samoa, Cook Islands, Federated States of Micronesia, Fiji, Guam, Kiribati, Marshall Islands, Nauru, New Caledonia, Palau, Papua New Guinea, Samoa, Solomon Islands, Tahiti, Tonga, Tuvalu and Vanuatu. The Oceania National Olympic Committees, Sports Integrity Australia and Sport Integrity Commission Te Kahu Raunui are active members of the ORADO and provide advisory and programme support.

The role of the ORADO Secretariat is to support our member countries with coordinating their education, training and testing programmes to foster clean sports and a level playing for Pacific athletes.

The ORADO Secretariat also plays a critical role in ensuring members activities satisfy commitments made under the United Nations Convention on Anti-Doping and the World Anti-Doping Code and International Standards.
